A) x/y = 2/3
B) x + y = 105
Solving Equation A for y
A) y = 1.5x
Substituting A into B
B) x + 1.5x = 105
2.5x = 105
x = 42
y = 63
The answer is 7. You can look at it like this. The two triangles are similar and the larger one's sides are twice the size of the smaller one's. So then we know GF is twice the size of JK.
2(2y+5)=5y+3
4y+10=5y+3
y=7
Daniela invested a total of $50,00, some in a certificate of deposit (cd) and the reminder in bonds. The amount invested in bonds was $5000 more than twice the amount she put into cd. How much did she invest in each account ?

is the answer hope it helps:)
Using elimination, we add the equations, but this time from left to right. This process wants to elimination a variable. So 2x plus -2x equals 0. Moving on the next variable, 6y plus -y is 5y. On to the last variable, 18 plus 12 is 30. So we have this equation, 5y=30. 30/5 is 6, so y=6. We plug 6 into y in one of the equations you choose. In this case, I'm going to use the first equation. Plugging 6, we have this equation, 2x plus 36 is 18. 18-36 is -18. We then have this equation, 2x=-18. We know -9 times 2 is -18, so our x value is -9, So, our y=6, and our x=-9.
